Privitize it
What does everybody think of those 5 year paint sealants? I know they don't last half as long as they say they do.....in WNY it's lucky to last 3 months. We're selling a sealant package that at least 10-15% of the customers buy that buy new cars at work. The price is $600 and profit is around $450. I guess here's my theory on why to sell them. There's a certain group of people that will never have you detail their cars. They're looking for the easy way out. They see this and think I don't have to clean my car for 5 years and it's only $600, what a deal. They're looking for someone who offers this type of package, they don't want a detail every couple months. If they don't buy it from you, they'll buy it from someone else. I can knock a full package (sealant, undercoating, fabric, vinyl) off in 2.5 hrs, which makes this quite profitable. My arguement against this is that it's pretty much a scam. If you back the warranty up, I don't think it's that bad, pretty much you're just detailing thier car and putting more stuff back on. The fine print says they have to have everything reapplied every year at an additional cost. The paint "sealant" is usually teflon, which does little if anything to add protection. The fabric protectant doesn't do much to prevent stains, vinyl protectant does something as it beads water. The undercoating works if resprayed once a year where chipping as occured. So, yes, no?
